[...] As the title implies, I think many of us are getting Cabin Fever (you have to live in a sub-arctic climate to understand it, but basically it's a kind of madness that occurs late in the season, when it's starting to look like Spring will never arrive). Well, it's just around the corner. (Unless you live down under, of course. But you get the idea).

On a serious note, I am looking forward to see what direction BandLab takes the rebranded Sonar.

…, others will chime in about how they hope BandLab doesn't turn Sonar into a toy for loop-dragging kids….

And of course, the best one of all, which is that SONAR has really been profitable all along, and Bandlab should just restore SONAR unchanged, business as usual, raking in the profits and forget about all that younger generation nonsense.  Hey, you whippersnappers, get yer hands off my DAW ...  Kids these days.

This is not a "What does the future hold thread." It is an attempt to encourage people to behave more civilly as they discuss the situation.

Absolutely. It's been less than a month since the announcement! I'm sure BandLab has to do a lot of work behind the scenes to complete the transition to new owners. IMHO the best way to use this forum is the way it has always served us best - sharing ways to get the most out of Sonar.
 
We know all the important points: Sonar will continue, it will remain a desktop app, it was purchased to expand BandLab's offerings, and the company appreciates the loyal user base. That answered my questions...back to music .

Sorry to burst your bubble but it will not be called Sonar.

Again, the purpose of this thread was to encourage us to be patient, and definitely not to point fingers at anyone. I'm pretty sure I've had threads closed for things I said. It's no big deal. The mods do what they feel they have to do, like all mods.
 
Also, I think it's in our interest to present a decent face, so to speak, to our new associates. No, not owners. I didn't say that, I said "in a sense they are our new owners." As has been pointed out, we don't own our software, we get a license to use it. And we definitely won't own the forum. They will, and they may be less tolerant of endless bickering about things that don't matter anymore.
 
It was way back in November that "the news" hit. Many of us were devastated. We tried and purchased other software. We resolved to use sonar as is forever. Some had different reactions; they may even have been amused how "hard" the rest of us were taking it; after all it's just software, etc. And that is fine, perfectly valid. People are different.
Viva la difference.
 
So, maybe we can hang in there a bit longer. Let me tell you, three Nor'easters in a row up here in New England, has me wild with cabin fever, when most of the rest of the country is bathed in cherry blossoms, or at least has a few daffodils popping up. But I know that Spring will bring me not just flowers and gentle breezes from the South, but a new Sonar rising from the ashes. 
 
P.S. Our fourth Nor'easter is due to arrive in a few hours. If I can hang in there, you can too.
